Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

From the moment his egg was laid, dragons felt a diffuse sense of dread whenever they came near Damien. Once he hatched, things got worse. Without the shell between themselves and their little son, his parents soon developed a regular phobia of their own hatchling and finally decided to abandon him before he even matured. Damien has no idea why others are afraid of him. It's hardly his fault when cows bear two-headed offspring, the milk curdles, and young girls start suddenly levitating and speaking in demonic tongues.
